The Princess of Bliss

She was carrying sad memories down the road This dusty trail was all her heart had ever known But summer sun and better days grabbed the tears The light beat down on and burned every little care And as she dropped the memories like feathers, Daisies appeared on the road before her She twirled, skipped, and bent over to pick them up With a flower crown, she was more joyful than a princess in love Barefoot, and full of bliss, she smiled as never before Her heart sang a happy tune and smiled to the core Finally, she came to a vast and beauteous flower field She felt in comparison to the petals, all other beauty paled As she took a closer look, she recognized each flower They were the problems she used to have that never mattered She saw the old lessons in a new light from then on Any new teachings became like a friend, always welcome Now tears don't fall down her face, her hope isn't frail She has become the princess of the sunny flower field
